The U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) adoption of the 2012 edition of NFPA 101, Life Safety Code® requires that health care facility operators conduct a yearly inspection of fire door assemblies in accordance with NFPA 80, Standard for Fire Doors and Other Opening Protectives. Help ensure your facility is prepared for CMS audits by knowing how -- and when -- you need to comply with NFPA 80 rules.

Ideal for facility managers, this one-day course addresses the door types encountered along the egress paths within a health care facility, the door locking means permitted, the eleven verification points required for the yearly inspection of swinging fire door assemblies, and also addresses the knowledge and skills required to perform the inspection and testing in accordance with NFPA 80.

You'll leave with the knowledge required to help ensure your facility's fire doors are in compliance with CMS mandates, and to assist your staff in knowing exactly what CMS surveyors will request during audits.

Upon completion of this course you should be able to:

Judge the adequacy of door type for each common health care occupancy wall opening in accordance with NFPA 101
